Well as the thread suggests I have 1 diesel fuel tank installed and another in good condition I got with the rig (car was petrol and now diesel so the previous owner changed the tank)
I do take long trips and at some stage I have to a long range fuel tank, so my out of the box question is:
Can i simply install the 2nd tank (plenty of clearance as I have my spare wheel on a carrier at the back) in a way where the car draws from the bottom tank and the one above is for fueling ? (he did give me the old fuel pump he used to transfer between tanks? not sure what his setup was though)
In theory the car will draw from bottom tank and whatever is in the tank above will replace (the fuel gauge will be off by 90 liters or so for sure.)
The alternative would be to either cut one of the tanks make it thicker, or cut 2 tanks and make them into one (Importing is not an option so I have to work locally).
Idea, suggestions are more than welcome ( i did do a search but have not yet found a thread for this example. I will keep looking in the mean time)
Oh on a side note, apparantly putting a couple of epoxy coats in the tank from the inside is a thing here in Egypt.
Any one done that?
